Introduction
Swapsteem is a peer to peer exchange for Steem blockchain. We creating a platform for Steem users to enable P2P trading of STEEM/SBD to different Fiat and Crypto Currencies using secure escrow transactions. This post is regarding the new p2p crypto markets we have added at Swapsteem.
Post Body
Trading STEEM/SBD is still a daunting task today. There are a lot of things that needs to be addressed when it comes to trading STEEM/SBD as mentioned in below points.
- Markets : As of coingecko, There are only 18 markets for STEEM as of now. STEEM is listed on only 7 exchanges. Similarly there are only 10 pairs for SBD and it's listed on same 7 exchanges. At Swapsteem, we have currently enabled BTC and EOS crypto currencies on the Demo and Alpha, but we are planning to list more Crypto Currencies in near future.
- Prices : STEEM prices are very fluctuating. The trades must be finalized as fast as possible to get the best prices for the trade. At Swapsteem, we enable p2p trading with prices derived from coingecko for the pair at the time of order creation. The price can NOT be changed after order creation.
- Fees : Trading STEEM also comes with some fees. Exchanges usually charge some percentage of the trade as fees. There is also fees for deposits and withdrawals on traditional exchanges. Blocktrades.us provides a fast way to trade STEEM to other Crypto, but the prices are lower than market due to their commission which is 1%. At Swapsteem, We take a fee of 2% for fiat trades and 1% for Crypto trades, which are the current standard fees. We also give discounts to delegators as mentioned in our fundition campaign.
- Security : When you deposit your funds to an exchange, you actually don't own your funds anymore. The exchange might be hacked or taken down at anytime and you may loose your funds as seen in many previous cases. At Swapsteem, We respect the proof of keys movement. You never have to deposit your funds to @swapsteem. Upon creation of an Order the funds will need to be moved into an Steem escrow transaction with @swapsteem as agent. Only you can release the funds in the Escrow until a dispute is created. In case of dispute, @swapsteem will have authority to move funds to either party. The funds in Escrow can never be sent to anyone other than the traders involved, not even to the agent account. So you can be sure about the security of your funds in escrow.
